The scandal involving harvesting of personal data by Cambridge Analytica was first reported by Harry Davis, a journalist with which paper ?
The Guardian
The data-harvesting practices of the British political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, which used Facebook profile data of millions of users without their consent, were first exposed in December 2015 by Harry Davies, a reporter of the British daily The Guardian.
The story became a global scandal in March 2018 when The Guardian's sister paper The Observer (reporter Carole Cadwalladr) and The New York Times published whistleblower Christopher Wylie's revelations.
The New York Times joined the reporting only in 2018, so it did not first break the story.
The Times (London) and The Washington Post followed up on the story but were not the original source of the 2015 report.
Hence, The Guardian.
